At the Orion Energy Systems plant in Wisconsin today, the President told cheering workers that they represent a major theme from last night's speech to a joint session of Congress. Reporter Michael Shear covered last night's address for the New York Times.

In his second speech on the State of the Union, Barack Obama told a divided Congress that "contentious" debates are a "good thing" that "robust democracy demands." He also called for a new era of cooperation. Today, at a clean-tech energy company in Wisconsin, Obama re-emphasized last night's theme that "innovation" will create the jobs of the future. But in the official response to his State of the Union address, Republicans said his call for "investment" was a recipe for more government spending. What else did the President tell a divided Congress and the American people? What are the prospects for new legislation and the political future?

Four years ago, a Russian reporter was interviewing Dr. Paula Niedenthal at her office in Blaise Pascal University in France. When he found out she was American, he said, "American smiles are all false, and French smiles are all true. " That provoked a new project for Niedenthal, who's Director of the National Center for Scientific Research in France.
